I may not be reading this right and forgive me if this is the case, but
syslog-ng will only log debug when the message is sent with level =
debug.  It
doesn't work like regular syslog in that it records up to that =
particular
level.  If you want everything from emerg to debug you use
level(emerg..debug).  Have you tried to send something like logger -p
local1.debug "testing" to it to see what happens?  Again I apologize if =
I
misread this.

Regards,

Drew

That's really strange. Here is some additional info:

root@dev-ims1 # /sbin/syslog-ng -V
syslog-ng 1.6.2
root@dev-ims1 # uname -a
SunOS dev-ims1 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

root@dev-ims1 # gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2.1
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

compilation: ./configure --enable-sun-streams --enable-sun-door=20
--with-libol=3D/usr/local/bin; make; make install

Complete truss output is available here: http://www.marvin.cz/ng . It=20
shows start of syslog-ng under truss utility, some restarts (kill -HUP) =

and activity after 'logger' command.

If I can deliver more info, just tell me what you need. I really like=20
syslog-ng, but there are some problems that cause us trouble... and I=20
really want them to go away.
